Netgear N300 Range Extender and Netgear LB1120 Broadband Modem

I have just bought a Netgear N300 Wifi Range Extender to help me provide access to my wifi in my home and cannot connect the range extender to the broadband modem connected to an Actiontec router as the broadband modem does not have WPS. I keep getting the message to press the WPS button on my router and there is none. Neither the modem nor the router have a WPS button. At least I believe that is where the problem lies. Can anyone help? Maybe I bought the wrong extender!!

      Thanks for asking. I managed to solve the issue using the Netgear Installation Assistant. It works fine now.
